Why LayerZero Could Be the Biggest Sleeping Giant in Crypto
In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Simon Baksys, Chief Business Officer at LayerZero, to unpack the company’s much bigger vision: a new high-performance Layer 1, institutional onchain markets, a “headless” exchange called Atlas, AI-agent payments, and potentially trillions of dollars moving onchain. LayerZero already powers cross-chain infrastructure for major assets and institutions. Now, with Xero, the team is building a blockchain designed to handle up to millions of transactions per second - performance aimed not just at DeFi, but at capital markets and high-frequency trading.
